I think I lost against the Adobe jew, bros, cant keep working on my shitty portable pirated PS, keeps crashing and cant crank up the RAM usage over 4gb, the brushes dont work as intentended and cant install the plug-ins like magic picker, I think I preffer to pay that deal with this shit longer...
anyone here uses the PS that comes with the suscription?

Why not try a free program? Like Krita for example

If you have a college ID, Photojew will give you free version of their suite for non commercial use.

[Anonymous No.4337389]

just use krita dummy. it has all the selection, transform and masking tools photoshop has, but uses a quarter of the ram.

[Anonymous No.4337395]

Sometimes I think they let illegal copies fly because they are buggy as hell. Shit drove me up a wall until I subscribed. Most people you see complaining that PS sucks are using pirated crap. I've subscribed and used PS almost daily for three years now and have not had one crash or real issue to mention

Have you tried CSP? It's cheap and a lot of people seem to like it.

What about CSP? A lot of people seem to like it and it's cheap.

you're wrong and very ill informed about the process of pirating/patching adobe products. you can have any version of the software you want, installed straight from creative cloud, then run it through a program to make it think it's a licensed software

Liquify is the ultimate crutch, it's basicly cheating. I use it all the time and I feel like a fraud because of it.

I don't use PS for years, I meanly use CSP but I had a subscription for Illustrator cc for work and it crashes constantly and have random weird bugs that keep me reseting the program like 2-4 times a day I just had enough and pirated the program. until they fix something i wont pay a single cent for adobe.

only had problems with cracked cs6. cs6 with keygen works fine though.

[Anonymous No.4338083]

>>4337938
Really? The biggest reason why I wanna switch from CS6 is the performance gain at higher resolutions, I don't even know of any real benefit that isn't some stupid gimmick.

[Anonymous No.4338088]

>>4338083
They keep adding gimmicky new features that make the program more complicated and thus slower. That shit's built for professional-grade PCs.

CS6 is 8 years old even if it wasn't some glitchy pirated copy it was never made to fully utilize a PC of your spec. Pirate or subscribe to the newest version and give it a try. I'm sure its bloated with extra shit but its made to take advantage of a modern PC. Mine runs like a dream with a computer half as advanced as yours.

I just use a cracked 2017 build of SAI 2

[Anonymous No.4340061]

>>4336811
i cracked because of the same issues too, anon. don't feel bad. i used the legit versions for some years and STILL ran into 8/10 of the same fucking issues as before.

fortunately, Clip Studio Paint is quickly becoming a PS contender (as far as illustration and comics) so i pirated that to use for about a year. zero issues if you know where to get CSP brush files. when their holiday sale came up, i bought EX legit and cancelled my remaining contract with Adobe

>im sorry... "contract"?
yes, you heard right. if you cancel your annual sub through adobe's site, they will hit you those sweet, sweet fees. this can be circumvented if you talk to a real human, though. try their phone support, website chat support, or twitter DMs at @AdobeCare

[Anonymous No.4340069]

>>4337794
>curves
it does. you just have to create an "adjustment layer" to use curves. same thing as curves+smart object in PS

>liquefy
can't argue that it's the only reason i keep PS installed. CSP does have mesh transformation, though. so i make do with that

if you're unsure, CSP is so SO much easier to pirate than Adobe products. try it out for a few months and see how they compare for you.

Search for clip studio paint on torrentz.eu or the pirate bay. I'm gonna buy it legit when EX goes on sale again.

No, not even private trackers can be trusted, just get a cheap spare computer to test all the stuff you download from the net if you're going to start using pirated software. Old software from legit releases it's safe.

Not really worth doing unless you can do actual debugging and reverse engineering (but at that point why rely on other people's cracks?).
Most malware are sneaky and almost undetectable by eye, you could have a keylogger and cryptominer running right now and not know it. Most malwares are not obvious like in the case of ransomwares.
Antiviruses are not useful either, well-written malwares can easily fly under the radar while actual clean cracks that have suspicious components gets flagged.
Common sense can filter out 95% of bad apples but it takes one outlier to fuck you up.
I'd recommend https://hybrid-analysis.com if you're still up for the risk. Unlike antiviruses that analyzes file signatures, this one analyzes their actual behaviour.
